Professional Reviews For This Wine

International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91

($65) Full medium ruby. Vibrant, floral aromas of cassis, bitter cherry, dark chocolate and violet. Very intensely flavored and dense for village wine, with complex dark berry, spice and game flavors. This offers terrific structure and class.

Wine Advocate | Rating: 90

The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Gevrey-Chambertin reveals lovely red cherry, sweet oak aromas. This pure, lush, medium-bodied wine is velvety-textured and filled with violets and candied cherries. It is plush, opulent, and reveals sweet, supple tannins in its fresh, long finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

Wine Spectator | Rating: 90

A wine to lay down: dense and thick-textured, with blackberry, raspberry and toasted notes. Firmly structured, full-bodied, it needs time to soften.

Burghound | Rating: 88

Earthy Gevrey fruit with a nice mix of red and black fruits with chewy, structured flavors delivered in an understated style. There is plenty of structure here but the fruit seems to largely bury it. A very pretty and relatively serious villages.

Wine Varietal: Pinot Noir

Notorious for its fickle growing patterns, Pinot Noir vines prefer long, cool growing conditions and tend to mutate easily, leaving behind numerous clones and inconsistent flavor profiles. Although it is one of the three major varieties used in Champagne production, Burgundy is the traditional home of Pinot Noir. The 30-mile stretch of hills known as the Cote d'Or is valued as the world's premier production area. Pinot Noir is planted all over the world. In the United States, Sonoma, the Russian River Valley, Carneros and the Willamette Valley produce top-notch wines from this variety. Other notable countries include New Zealand, Australia, and Chile. Typical descriptors for Pinot Noir include strawberry, raspberry, cherry, mushroom, and meaty notes.
